The Longest End To December!

The day started pretty early for us. Sis wanted us out of bed by 8am and off we go to the market. It's been a long time since we came to this morning market. And the mission today is not to shop for anything, not even groceries. Makes me again wonder why we were there. Oh, food.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And it's always important to start it right. I had a yummy packet of nasi lemak, though not the usual I would take. And helped Sis a little on the noodles she wasn't supposed to eat.
Although not a very peculiar combination, but God knows what happened to my stomach.

We went around town to run some errands and by time I got home at about noon, my stomach has just reached a whole new level of aching. It started like the usual wind-in-my-tumm-tumm ordeal. But I was fooled. It's not the usual. It's a little something more with that. Not the usual gastric pain. Yes sir, no it's not.

I had to skip my Indian lunch for fear that I would upset it further. I actually got full just by looking at my family eat while I drank on some plain water. Like, seriously. I'm glad I tag along. Hehe.

Tumm tumm, no tumm tumm. There's still space for ice-cream! ♫ Baskin Robbins 31 ♫

Haha. Sorry but tummy really felt much better then. It started back only at night, after my afternoon nap. *sighs*
So, icy-creamy ice-cream is not the culprit. Hehe.

Only problem is, our NY celebration plan could not be executed. Ended up counting down at home. Not too bad an idea anyway.

But sorry, Bii. Still, somehow I know you wouldn't mind. ♥

The Longest Start To December!

Gahhhhhhhh~!!! I need a good shout! And I need to shout out loud! What a long day it has been and I'm glad it's gonna end. I sure do hope so. No trauma-scar left behind please!

At least, I feel safe now. Under the shelter of my home, confined in the room...and Bii is coming home real soon. Yes, I do feel much safer.

The day started early. But I guess it just wasn't early enough. After two days not getting the free entry to the carparks, the kiasu in me is getting excited. I left earlier than  usual to fetch a friend, only to realize I'm running out of fuel! So I needed extra time to have a quick visit to the petrol station.

The whole journey was a smooth ride. Even the gears did not jerk. I should be proud of myself, no? The wheels were in my control and we reach the KL-Seremban highway before 7.30am. I initially expected it to be later, considering the detours taken. So, I should be proud of myself, no?

Well, the answer is no and no! The moment I took a turn at the Desa Waterpark into the East-West Link, I immediately regretted all the happy thoughts. The traffic is crazy! It has been so for the past few days. I just wonder how the information had slipped off my mind for a sec there. It took me another 20-25 minutes just to reach that corner to Menara. I am bummed!

Yet, dumbly I still have hopes of getting a sad entry left for me. Stupid stupid stupid! Having hopes is not wrong but letting the kiasu-Elaine to take over the wheels is! Oh stupid stupid stupid. Knowing my accelerator is not all that smooth, I should have been more careful!

I slightly stepped on the accelerator [while we were still in the slow traffic] and it kinda revved upfront a little more than I thought it should. Something blinded me and I didn't see that motorbike on my left side, trying to make his way across the road. When I moved forward, I slightly bammed on its exhaust pipe. Very slightly, he didn't fall. But he did jerk a little on his bike.
Yes, he's somehow already in front of me. He shouldn't have been!! So, why?! =(

I should have been more alert. No matter what happened back there, I still have responsibilities to bear. Thank God for He must have protected me back there. Just a small lesson. Nothing happened. Not to him, not to my little Potato.

Since then, I am jaded. Everything just seemed to go off my way. Even when I went to the canteen to pack my lunch, I blame the cashier for overcharging me and not giving me the fork and spoon. Thankfully, I was conscious enough to realize that before leaving.

And because I'm traumatized from the morning experience, I was actually spirited to work overtime today. First time speaking to my big boss personally is the best reason for OT. I felt so small presenting the updates to him. I surely could have done better than that. Oh well, this is just a step opening the doors to bigger opportunities. =)

Finally when it's time to face reality and drive home, I find myself lingering around the office. Taking every chances to spend just a minute or two more in the office. With every minute wasted, I told myself, "God is giving me the chance to avoid the little unexpected circumstances on the road". =)
I love it.

I heard on the radio that the traffic is bad again due to an accident involving two buses. I was contemplating which road to take. The long-straight highway with the risk of having to drive in the rain [it looked like it was going to rain] or the perfectly jammed road with super low speed?
Gleefully, I opted for the low speed. Trauma made me.

I saw the burnt skeleton of the bus. It was said to be burning in the radio but when I reached the scene, it had already finished burning. I wanted to look more but that would be awfully dangerous. I just pray that nobody got hurt in the burning bus.
Maybe this was what God didn't want me to witness happening.

I was extra careful on my home. The day was getting dark and I prayed it wouldn't rain. One thing, if not more, that I learnt from the day is that no matter how careful I drive, I still need to be vigilant from the other drivers and motorists.
I honked on my horn today. First time doing so to another person on the road. And I honked TWICE in merely just minutes away! [On separate occasions that is.] No, I did not honk because I am a Malaysian. Only because those cars almost knocked me! Usually I would slow down to let them come into my lane, but be fair. I can't step on my brakes abruptly just to let you in. And you obviously saw me coming!! I know because you stopped when I was oncoming from a distance away and you hadn't had your signal lights on! Be fair! I'm just a baby on the road. Don't bully me! =(

Oh, God, please give me strength to face driving again tomorrow. ♥
